• Aim: Discover how InCites and Altmetric can help you uncover and showcase the full reach of your research, from academic influence to societal attention. Learn how to strategically use these insights—together with ORCID and your institutional repository—to strengthen your CV, funding applications, and academic visibility.
• Description:

This tailored session helps researchers, clinicians, and professors explore how to measure and strategically use the full reach of their work. We will introduce both traditional bibliometrics through InCites, which provide insight into academic impact via citation patterns, and altmetrics through Altmetric, which capture broader engagement such as mentions in policy documents, clinical guidelines, news, and social media. Together, these perspectives offer a more complete view of research influence, spanning both scholarly and societal impact. Participants will learn how to critically interpret these indicators in line with DORA and apply them to strengthen CVs, evaluations, and funding applications. The session is designed to meet the specific needs of participants: together we will not only review the reach of their own publications but also address practical aspects such as optimizing ORCID profiles and ensuring research outputs are properly deposited in the institutional repository. In the first part, we provide the key foundations and strategies for using these tools effectively. In the second, highly interactive part, participants will actively work with their own data, ask questions, and refine their professional research visibility. By the end, attendees will have both a sharper understanding of research metrics and practical steps to improve their academic profile and opportunities.
